CREAM OF FRESH TOMATO SOUP WITH BASIL

CREAM OF FRESH TOMATO SOUP WITH BASIL

I made this luscious cream of fresh tomato soup with basil yesterday and I just had to share the recipe. Cream of tomato soup happens to be one of my all time favorites. I will never say no to a bowl of hot and creamy tomato soup. Honestly, add cream to any vegetable soup and I will gulp it down :).

Cream of Fresh Tomato Soup with Basil

Tomato and basil is a winning combination. Yesterday while making soup I decided to add some fresh basil that I had leftover after making pesto. The result was amazing. The soup was scrumptious, warm and satisfying. The soup has a light tartness from the tomatoes, sweetness from the onions and carrots, peppery and anise flavor from the basil and the half and half just brings everything together to make it luscious and creamy.

Cream of Fresh Tomato Soup with Basil

I like to use fresh tomatoes on the wine as they have a deeper tomato flavor. I also use half and half as I find it is lighter but if you prefer heavy cream, you can use that too. Enjoy this soup with some croutons, a buttered roll, a crostini or a gooey hot grilled cheese sandwich.

Here is how I make it…
